Two injured in crash near Herbert

Two people with minor injuries were airlifted to Dunedin
Hospital yesterday morning, following a single-car accident
near Herbert.

A St John ambulance spokeswoman said a passing motorcyclist
called in the accident at 11am, just south of Herbert, after
coming across a car with two passengers which had gone off
the road and into trees.

Several police vehicles, an ambulance and fire crews from
Oamaru, Weston and Kakanui were called out, as well as the
Otago Regional Rescue helicopter, the latter delivering the
two injured people to Dunedin.
